Long Len Poems

There is a large cattle property in the Northern Territory of Australia
   where the bores are named after Famous cricketers and that prompted

The Most Cruel Disease

By Elton Camp

Trumpeting sounds of elephants
Pleasant rides, tricks, and children’s chants
In a place called Thailandia
The tourists come from Sandia
They visit their uncles and aunts

Ride the bulls, play, touch, watch them paint
Unaware of treatment, restraint 
A few people...

to leave me, my love could not make you stay,
You always loved not me, but vanity,
Pleasures of this world beckoned you away;

You broke my heart when you purposed to go,

Through graveyard
meandering, just
me and Dad
stories sad
abbreviated down to
mostly names and dates

So we tell
their stories by turns
like poor Duane
Dinwiddie
died at age thirty-three of
bee sting allergy

So tragic

Angeline
age nineteen
who died before her wedding
day, her...

Except for the lowing sounds of muffled crying and
